Summer heat and the band question???

[becsbeads 0]

Hi all,

I was banded on 12/29/05 and this is, of course, my first summer with

the band. Do any of you notice that you are tighter now that the heat

has set in? My second (and last) fill was on March 8th and I have

been doing great at this level but the last two weeks have been really

tough. I have PBd 4 times in the last 2 weeks. I am chewing slowly and

taking little bites but I can't keep much of it down. I then go to

liquid for a few meals after the PB in order to settle the band down

but I am really stuggling. I am getting all of my Water in and even

more but the food is really wiping me out. I really think I might be

a little swollen because of the heat. Does anyone out there have this

problem.

I do have an appointment with Dr. Malley on the 5th and will talk to

him about this. I have been disappointed with my weight loss the past

few weeks because i am not eating but not loosing. my poor body is in

starvation mode and holding out.

Just curious to know if anyone has this same issue.

thanks,

Bec

Dr. Malley
